Great stuff. Both cars look good in white.

 

[cawimmer430]

Both cars are hot, especially in white. But the real question is, can they hold up against this thing (also in white)?

j/k

 

[Tarek]

Well drop in a new V6 plus some black series diet on it and it'll rock for sure

Is it me....or are those laptimes around the Ring REALLY SLOW for both of these cars???

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

The Mercedes looks like a 'bastard child' of old and new next to those two.

AutoBild always do a full lap on the Ring (20,8 km). Cannot compare to Sport Auto's time, because they use 20,6 km of the track.

Love the exterior looks of the boxter and the interior of the 1er. I wander if mercedes is going to make an AMG model to rival the two.

 

[Jackbmw]

The 1er Coupe is a porn on wheels, particularly as a 135i version with Performance parts.

And with additional performance parts it looks even sharper. But the price about 60k Euro...

I don't think the CLC Merc is a real competitor of 1er Coupe. It's heavier, more expensive, technically older and above all less sportive. None of the test in which both cars were compared, was won by CLC.

those seats you must have in your 135i PC. Perfect for your trackdays

Ahhhh......thanks for the info!

Still trying to break the engine in. Have a track day booked for this coming Friday, but I don't think I'll complete the 2000km break-in period before that.....

I may have to short shift at 5000rpm on the track (depending how close I am to 2000km by then), which will dampen my pace.

But yes, some of the Performance parts for the 135i are seriously worth considering. I have no intention of spending any money on cosmetic upgrades, but the Performance suspension, Performance intake, and maybe the exhaust are certainly worthy of considering in the future. Those Performance seats look nice, but I'm not that hard core of a track driver. The M-sport seats are already VERY supportive for spirited driving.

When will we see the first non-white PP 1-series coupe and when will we get to see the PP for the 3-series?

I'm not too impressed with the "Performance Parts" lineup from BMW.

I am. I think it's awesome. And BMW is new to pimping the car with performance parts....I'm sure it'll get even better in the future

Edit;
and maybe we will get Performance Parts for the E90 line after the LCI????

 

[Mr Robert]

Thanks Guibo, good looking!
